the deathnote of this series. I really hope this is the actors bargaining for more money from fox as they must know without them the show dies. I mean how can anyone else voice bender.

I certainly wont be watching if they are replaced.

I love Futurama but changing all the voice actors is wrong. If this happens then I'm out.

When all voice stars are united for a pay increase it'll work thats happened with friends all six stars worked together and got paid more.

And Futurama with no original bender can kiss my shiny metal ass.

Bad idea, don't know how it could possibly work.

Typical, greedy people ruining things yet again. How much does someone need to go in to a studio and speak a few funny lines, can't be that hard.

Sort it out "actors"!

Hit the nail on the head there. And it's not as if they add-lib the whole thing so they are reading what someone else has written and reaping the rewards!

To pay someone $1m per episode (Friends) is a disgrace, and all involved should be ashamed of themselves

If they put a trail at the beginning saying 'The previous voice actors for Futurama became so greedy they wanted $x per episode and we weren't willing to pay that, so they have all been replaced', it may appease some fans.

I don't really watch it anyway but if I were a fan and they did that, I would continue to watch it (or any other TV series).

I hope the series does better as a result.

I know it wont feel the same, but It would be good to stick 2 fingers up at them and love the series to spite them.


Thats why they call me Spitefull System
